"Should the government even count race in the census?"

This is how the Germans exterminated the Jews. This is how banks redline areas or decide where to implement predatory lending. Insurance companies use it to raise rates. This is how they know where to underfund the schools at. It helps people find the whitest neighborhoods possible to live in. We know the downsides. I'm wondering what are the benefits?
